Dear User,
Here is a response from Senior Data Processing expert, Mr. Guillermo Rojas:
Quote:
We don't have a variable for incidence per-se. Variables V405 and V406 have the current status for amenorrhea and abstinence respectably. Please refer to "The Guide to DHS Statistics" to understand how the calculation is done. The Guide to DHS Statistics http:// www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-dhsg1-dhs-questi onnaires-and-manuals.cfm

To calculate the contraceptive prevalence for married women should be very simple. Variable V501 has the marital status and variable V312 has the method currently being used.


Thank you for your post.
